Was anyone really mystified or confused by how the "floating" statues stay up?

The kopites have already commissioned a portrait of Arne Slot in anticipation of his arrival...

Pretty accurate if you ask me.

'Theft at the British Museum'. Only a half hour show, and no great pace to it. But fascinating in it's way. Someone's were pilfering antiquities on the sly from the museums extensive historic back catalogue, but they didn't factor in one man. The Danish professor with the photographic memory. Because of his superhuman brain he was able to recognise certain pieces of valuable art turning up on ebay and costing only a few quid and it happened enough for him to report it. He's then spent his time tracking down these thefts/frauds and returning items to their rightful* home owner.
His name is Ittai Gradel. Interesting chap. Very much white collar crime. Occurred to me it was like Scooby do in reverse, "And we would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for the meddling of the trained up professor of ancient gemstones with the photographic memory that was buying and selling this stuff in his spare time".

Caravaggio's Ecce Homo nearly escaped attention, having initially been attributed to another 17th Century artist.

Spotted this pastel picture of Crosby beach. No idea what the Artist connection is but the use of colour is pretty exceptional.

"I was not an artist until I broke my neck in a high school wrestling match and was paralyzed from the neck down. Being a quadriplegic, I decided not to dwell on what I couldn’t do, but to explore what I could do. I taught myself to draw and paint by mouth. To overcome my limited reach, I learned to draw upside down and sideways to create the intricate detail that’s become my style. I love wildlife and their beauty inspires me every day" Doug Landis​
